Thank you for having me.

Yeah, I always love our chat.

What does it mean to you?

So I kind of came into the movement.

I discovered the FIRE movement, so Financial Independence Retire Early, just after a divorce.

I was like,

I need to do better with my money.

I can't blame it on him anymore.

Take some responsibility.

So I went down a bit of a rabbit hole and tried to educate myself.

But for me, it just meant autonomy, right?

Like it means the way that I could choose to live my life, whether I'm work optional and that kind of thing, where I live, that sort of stuff.

And so it was just all about autonomy and control over my own life.

A lot of my clients are getting this advice whether they were ready for it or not, right?

Whether they signed up for that or not.

They're like, I thought we were just here to talk about tax, right?

But we always go that one step further.

And I think for a lot of people, they start with sort of taking stock.

Like, so where are we now?

What's our financial position?
